MINI WHITEBAIT CRUSTLESS QUICHES



Mini Whitebait Crustless Quiches image

It seems that the only whitebait recipes are for whitebait fritters which can get a little boring. So I came up with this recipe as we had oodles of whitebait to get through. These are made in muffins pans but can also be made in mini-muffin pans. The dried herbs and parmesan give the quiches a nice flavour however don't be too heavy-handed with these as you don't want the delicate taste of the whitebait to be overempowered. Makes about 8 muffin size quiches which will serve 2-3 as a meal or 16-20 mini-muffin size quiches.

1 onion, chopped
2 teaspoons oil
1 pinch dried dill
1 pinch dried thyme
salt
pepper
3 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon parmesan cheese, grated
250 g whitebait, uncooked & drained

Steps:

  • Saute the onion and oil over a low heat for 5 minutes or until soft. Put aside and leave to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 190 degrees celcius & spray the muffin tin with oil spray.
  • In a bowl whisk the eggs. Add the salt, pepper, dill, thyme, milk, flour & parmesan and whisk until smooth.
  • Stir in the whitebait and cooled onions.
  • Spoon into the muffin tin.
  • Place tin into preheated oven and bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until set and a pale golden colour.
  • Remove from oven and leave the quiches to cool in the tins for 15 minutes before removing otherwise they may break up as you try to get them out of the tin.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature with a salad. If making mini-muffin sized quiches they are great served as a nibble with drinks.

CRUSTLESS MINI QUICHE LORRAINE



Crustless Mini Quiche Lorraine image

My favorite comfort food on a low-carb diet is this quick and easy crustless quiche. I make them with and without spinach, and sometimes double the amount of bacon, as the mood strikes me. This is a crustless, low-carb version of quiche Lorraine that I developed when my family switched over to a LCHF diet. Not intended for low-fat diets!

Time 50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

nonstick cooking spray
1 (6 ounce) bag fresh spinach, finely chopped
1 (14 ounce) package cooked bacon, chopped
3 tablespoons dried chives
6 ounces Swiss cheese, shredded
8 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
4 teaspoons salt-free seasoning blend
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray a 12-cup standard muffin tin with nonstick spray.
  • Spray a skillet with nonstick spray. Saute spinach over medium-low heat just until wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Divide bacon among the muffin cups. Squeeze moisture out of the spinach and place on top of bacon. Sprinkle with chives, then top with equal portions of Swiss cheese.
  • Blend eggs, cream, seasoning blend, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Pour mixture slowly into each cup, stopping just before it reaches the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving; it's normal for puffy quiche to settle and flatten.

MINI QUICHES (CRUSTLESS)



Mini Quiches (Crustless) image

A great easy cook ahead dish. I like to make these for my boys to eat for breakfast on the go. Good reheated in the microwave. They freeze wonderfully. I often make these with bratwurst sausage and a teaspoon of leftover Knorr® vegetable-spinach dip. Add mushrooms or olives if you like. You can get creative with ingredients.
